About Adobe Illustrator

Illustrator is a vector drawing program used for illustrations, cartoons, diagrams, charts, and logos. Unlike bitmap images, which store information in a grid of dots, Illustrator uses mathematical equations to draw shapes, making vector graphics scalable without losing resolution.

Advantages of Vector Graphics

• Scalable without resolution loss
• Crisp and sharp lines at any size
• High-resolution printing
• Smaller file sizes
• Ideal for illustrations
